3. Pennsylvania state officials say they “strongly oppose” a possible change to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The state Department of Human Services says as many as 200,000 fewer Pennsylvanians will get food assistance if changes the Trump administration seeks go into effect. State Department of Human Services Secretary Teresa Miller said the agency “will continue to fight against any attempt to take the program away from Pennsylvanians who need it.” Changes proposed could mean that, for example, a family of four in the state wouldn’t be eligible if they earn above $32,000 a year. The current threshold is $40,000. The rule also could change the federal free lunch program. About 1,8 million people in Pennsylvania are part of the program. – PG
